Sun, who had strong support from former Premier Christy Clark’s BC Liberal government, while admitting to being the president of Istuary Labs and a director of Istuary Labs and Istuary Holdings, denies being a “promotor of investments” in any of the companies.

Sun, claims that he “did not at the material times not at the material times have complete and absolute control over Istuary Labs, Istuary Holdings’ and Network Intelligence accounting corporate and business records” and that he was “not at the material times the sole director” of those companies.

Sun’s wife Yulan Hu, also known as Amy Hu, claims that she “is not and was not at the material times a director, officer, or employee” of any of the companies named as defendants in the lawsuit and that she did not “assist” Mr. Sun or his companies in connection with the plaintiffs in the case.

Labelling it an “abuse of process”, Sun and Hu is seeking the removal of certificates of pending litigation against their multimillion-dollar properties, which they deny being funded through money allegedly siphoned off from Istuary.
